Such as free refills on popcorn and soda. Large popcorn and extra large soda for $19.50, ticket price adults $8. Was charged for my 11yo son as an adult. (Didn't realize til later) Sad to say I will not return here. Chairs were updated comfy but too tall for anyone under 5' 10", anyone shorter will struggle seeing over the chair infront of them. Nice sound system, projector, theater had a little AC duct overhead false ceiling damage.

We came from Houston to San Antonio to visit the majestic theater for a show, and I researched and…read morefound out AMC Rivercenter has a 70mm IMAX theater. I was immediately excited, as I thought the only one in Texas was in Dallas and I was NOT driving there. I booked tickets to see the Odyssey on what I THOUGHT was today, however I accidentally booked them for next Sunday. I was informed of this at the check in and was devastated at my own error. I asked if we could still get tickets for this showing and the attendant said it was full (understandably as this is a new movie and this viewing version is only available at certain theaters). They had tickets for a 10pm showing, but we were unable to stay in San Antonio that late as we had to be back in Houston this evening for appointments. I then asked if we could wait and see if someone didn't show up if we could buy tickets for their seats. I was told this was unlikely (understandably), but I could talk to the attendant at a different counter and see if it was possible to wait. I went there and spoke to Keely. I repeated the situation and asked again if we would be able to wait and see if someone didn't show up. She was very understanding and kind and reiterated she didn't think that would be possible but she would ask her manager. Doreen was the manager on duty and I repeated the situation. She said she would look and see if anyone had cancelled their tickets and if any more seating was available, but could not guarantee anything, and if seats were available they likely wouldn't be good seats (again, understandable). I told her I would be grateful for any seats. She looked, and there happened to be two handicapped seats available (my mother who was with me is handicapped). The seats were in an area she didn't have to worry about accessibility. And I am so grateful to the team there and wanted to reach out and let you know how well your team at the Rivercenter is taking care of customers. I am beyond grateful to have seen such a wonderful film as intended by the creators and it was only possible thanks to your wonderful team. I hope you take the time to recognize Keely and Doreen for going above and beyond what they had to in order to help a movie lover in a difficult situation that was my own mistake. Very Respectfully, Cecilia Rivera P.S. the theater was very clean including the restrooms and the staff let the handicapped individuals (there were more than us) in the show out of a side exit so we did not get jostled in the crowd leaving and I am also very grateful for that. TLDR: The theater staff and the theater itself is amazing and they all deserve a minimum $1.00/hr raise.

I've been to special screenings, quote alongs, and countless movies. And I'm done. Saw a movie tonight with their new ordering system, terrible recliners, and squeaky tables, and I realized the magic of that place is dead. The online ordering was awful. I paid for everything under 1 order but there was 15 minutes between 1 seat and the other getting items. When I finally got my food the water I ordered didn't arrive until I requested multiple refills through the online system which meant I had to keep my phone on the entire time. I would've felt better if I could've talked to a server but it was a bit chaotic. They were all running around looking a bit overwhelmed and lost. The only way to get help is to request a manager through the website, which felt like overkill. Final straw was realizing that despite paying via credit card when you order, they charge you another 5% (on top of the included 18% service fee) if you don't go back into the order system and close out after the movie ends. I don't want to be a slave to my phone. One of the greatest joys of the Alamo Drafthouse was their strictly enforced no phone policy, but those days are done. When Santikos or AMC tried to introduce fancier food I thought they were poor imitations of the Drafthouse, but now the Drafthouse feels like it dumbed itself down to be a poor imitation of them.

This is my second time visiting Rainbow in Castroville…read more The first time, I came and saw Captain America: Brave New World during a Sunday showing, and it was cool. Cheap concessions, cheap tickets, minimal ads, and a good display. I love a cute local theater and it's great to see them show the big movies in a small theater. I went tonight with my parents, who were given a box seat, to see Toy Story 5. Upon arrival, we were escorted to our seats in the box and given a menu. The usher got us our popcorn and drinks and was attentive. The popcorn is that classic popcorn I love, and it was a great price for the tub. Tickets typically are $9, and the concessions prices aren't too shabby either. For 3 drinks and the popcorn tub, it was $20, which is a steal compared to your majors. My mom wasn't sold on the theater before we went vs a chain, but after attending, she wants to go every weekend. It's a great addition to this small town. RIYL: big screens in the small town

Make sure to bring a jacket or blanket, as like all of the theaters I've been to in the San Antonio area it was very cold. Snacks for purchase, soda and beer in cans, fresh popcorn of course!

If you use the app reward, and come as often as we do, the prices get easier to tolerate. Plus unlimited popcorn, and drinks? Seriously. I believe embassy has the most comfortable seats around.

It's been awhile since I've been to this theater and remembered that the reclining seats weren't as comfortable as Alamo Drafthouse's. Well I think they had a remodel since then because the seats were very cushiony, seemed newer as the seats weren't worn down and the width of the seats and spacing between seats seemed ample enough that you're not going to bump your neighbor. The tray tables are also well-placed so that your table isn't impeding your view. I think it was well-designed. It was a smaller theater with only 5 rows but the terraced rows were low enough that someone walking in the lower row won't impede your view as well. The theater wasn't super cold as some places are where I'm using a hoodie and jacket in the middle of summer. Folks in line and around us still brought their blankets, LOL! To note, there's a $5 Santikos ticket deal where you can buy these tickets during the last few showings of a featured movie. They're only available for purchase at the theater according to the onscreen ad. Concession stands are downstairs and there's a bar. The screen showed a clip where you can order your food and have it brought to you for a small service fee. There was also a message of knowing where to exit and being vigilant with your surroundings or something to that effect. It's always good to be street-smart these days. After the movie, we exited and there was a Sheriff's Deputy that was outside and looking at his phone. I figured he was going to be on guard today or perhaps the weekend since a major world event occurred today that I expected ramped up security in public places.

When you go check out their movies, generally you can take your own blankets, food, drinks, chairs, etc. There's no bad seat in the house, since the screen is so big! I love what these guys are doing to make new use of public spaces around SA to turn any park into a movie theater!
